That McConnell tore their defense to shreds while also voting to acquit means we all know the fix was in and that their defense made not one bit of difference. https://t.co/ThfbuIkgzl

It took MAGA four years to prep its movement to be okay with killing Americans and negligent genocide using disease.

Hitler was only able to do that after fifteen years.

If the press had brains they'd be raking McConnell over the coals for delaying and then saying it is too late. LOOK what he just confessed to on the floor: Trump's guilt. He let him off cause HE prevented a trial before Trump left. THAT's about as reprehensible as it gets.

@NicolleDWallace is exactly right when she points out that EVERY Republican who has ANY aspirations to run for President in 2024 will now have to go up against and beat Trump.

You idiots.

Rubio
Cruz
Cotton
Portman
Hawley
Haley
Graham

You made this mess, you deal with it.

The impeachment trial brings home the painful reality.

Trump is only part of the problem.

The larger problem is that Trump is being shielded by a major political party that believes in his tactics and everything he stands for, and will defend literally anything he does.

Politics moves in steps in the US. On McCarthy, Civil rights, Nixon. Don’t underestimate the significance of today. Seven Republicans voted to remove a president of their own party from office. Their leader accused him of provoking terrorism. This is news and history.

As a colleague of mine has observed:

If Republicans control the House and Senate in 2024, there’s no way a Democrat, if he/she wins the presidential election, will be certified and allowed to take office.
